this is my frogemu!!
the first thing i did to create this mixed animal was get to pictures one of a emu and one of a frog. The idea was to put the emu head onto the frog body and frogs background. I then roughly cut out the emu head using the marquee selection tool. Then i copy and pasted it to the frog image. i hit command (t) to resize the image and also fipped it and spun it to having it facing the same direction of the frog head before. i aslo made sure the opacity was down so i could slightly see the frog underneath. using the mask tool i then rubbed out the parts i did not want. at first it was not working as i had the eye of the other layer on and couldnt see the rubbed out one. i asked mr andrews and he helped me fix my problem. i used a large soft brush to use the edges of it to create a smooth edge around the air. i also used a strong brush to rub out the eyes so the frog eyes came through to the emu head. the last step was to colour the emu to make it blend in to the frog. i used the hue and saturation pannel to play around and find the perfect colour range. my frogemu was done now!! overall i had alot of fun creating this animal and it was a good simple excersize to do to get ready for our avatars!
